Make Your Dreams Come True, DynamanMOJO
The ending theme of Kagaku Sentai Dynaman, which began airing in February 1983, is a powerful song that portrays five heroes fighting for their dreams.
Sung by MoJo and the chorus group Chorogei ’73, it leaves a strong impression with its message of courage and hope as they defeat the evil Jashinka Empire.
The lyrics were written by Kazuo Koike, with composition and arrangement by Kensuke Kyo, and the bold sound woven by brass and chorus set children’s hearts ablaze.
The single was released by Nippon Columbia in February 1983, and it was later issued on CD in March 2006 as a 30th-anniversary commemorative edition.
This song, played at the end of each episode, teaches the importance of making dreams come true.
It’s the perfect hero song to give you energy when you need a boost to keep going.
You’re the Only…Ono Masatoshi
Masatoshi Ono is known in Japan as one of the top masters of high-tone vocals.
In addition to his falsetto, he is highly regarded for his mixed voice, and he’s famous for delivering solid sound pressure even at high pitches.
Speaking of Ono’s most challenging songs, “You’re the Only…” is probably at the top of the list.
This piece features an exceptionally wide range from mid1 G# to hi B, and it does not use falsetto.
In other words, because every high-tone phrase has to be sung in chest voice, it’s difficult to pull off unless you possess an unusually specialized vocal range to begin with.
Moreover, as a rock ballad, it also demands vocal power, making it a song of very high difficulty in every respect.
Snow FantasyMatsuda Seiko
This work was included on the winter concept album “Snow Garden,” produced by Takashi Matsumoto in November 1987.
It was also used as an insert song in the film “Binenetsu Shonen,” directed by Matsumoto.
The lyrics, sprinkled with fantastical motifs such as snow sprites, forests, and reindeer-drawn sleighs, portray a poignant longing as the singer makes their way to a lover’s home amid the serene scenery of a snowy night.
The lyrics were written by Takashi Matsumoto, with composition and arrangement by Masaaki Omura.
The warm arrangement, woven from strings and synth sounds, truly resonates with the heart.
It’s a winter ballad with a dreamy atmosphere—one you’ll want to listen to on a winter night while thinking of someone dear.
Fade-out (in a wavering heart)Inagaki Junichi
Opening with images of a broken-heeled high heel and a parting scene, this piece is a number steeped in the ache of adult romance, portraying a wavering man’s heart caught between turmoil and forgiveness.
The lyrics weave delicate words to express complicated feelings toward a lover, and the gradual fade-out at the end beautifully echoes the title.
The samba-tinged rhythm is soothing, and together with its modern chord progression it creates an urban, mellow atmosphere.
Although it wasn’t released as a single, the track—featured on the February 1983 album “Shylights”—has maintained enduring popularity, later being selected for the best-of compilation “REVELATION.” It’s a quintessential early city-pop song by Inagaki, perfect for a drive or for contemplative, quietly reflective nights.
Wish Upon the SnowMakihara Noriyuki
A perfect piece for winter that gently sings of “the warmth of loved ones.” It’s the 10th single released by singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara in November 1993, a single cut from the album SELF PORTRAIT, and it was used as TBS’s winter campaign song.
The charm of this work lies in its tender lyrics, which view Christmas as a day to feel connected to others.
The emotionally rich arrangement—piano and strings woven over a medium-tempo melody—feels wonderfully comforting.
Sing it at karaoke, and the memories of Christmas from those days will quietly come back to life.
The sunset is your canvas.Inagaki Junichi
This is a love story that begins with a greedy woman murmuring that she wants to see a rainbow while bathed in the sunset.
The song was used in December 2016 as the commercial theme for the Daihatsu Move Canbus, and once the ad aired, inquiries poured in; responding to strong listener demand, it was released digitally.
The lyrics, crafted by Tetsurō Asō, gently paint the bittersweetness and wishes directed at a lover whose expressions and feelings change from moment to moment, likening the sunset to a canvas.
The spatial resonance known as the Wall of Sound highlights the sweet, enveloping vocals, while Junichi Inagaki’s signature urban mellowness spreads pleasantly.
Also included on the album HARVEST, this piece is perfect for those moments of watching the sunset from a car window during a drive.
snow-cappedEXILE ATSUSHI
Let me introduce a bittersweet winter ballad sung by EXILE’s ATSUSHI.
Released digitally in February 2022, the song is also included on his solo best album “ONE.” It was chosen as the image song for a pair of true wireless earphones, and the tie-in commercial featuring ATSUSHI himself became a hot topic.
The lyrics overlay regret and gratitude for a past love onto a pure white snowy landscape.
The resolve to live while holding on to the ache of wanting to see someone you can’t, and feelings that won’t reach them, sinks deep into the heart thanks to ATSUSHI’s rich, resonant vocals.
Perfect for when you want to sing a gentle, tender song.
